There is a political divide over AI but few leaders are taking a strong stand. It’s time for that to changeIn December, the Trump administration signed an executive order that neutered states’ ability to regulate AI by ordering his administration to both sue and withhold funds from states that try to do so. This action

World Models (WMs) are a central framework for developing agents that reason and plan in a compact latent space. However, training these models directly from pixel data often leads to ‘representation collapse,’ where the model produces redundant embeddings to trivially satisfy prediction objectives. Current approaches attempt to prevent this by relying on complex heuristics: they

The dream of recursive self-improvement in AI—where a system doesn’t just get better at a task, but gets better at learning—has long been the ‘holy grail’ of the field. While theoretical models like the Gödel Machine have existed for decades, they remained largely impractical in real-world settings. That changed with the Darwin Gödel Machine (DGM),

In the field of generative AI media, the industry is transitioning from purely probabilistic pixel synthesis toward models capable of structural reasoning. Luma Labs has just released Uni-1, a foundational image model designed to address the ‘intent gap” inherent in standard diffusion pipelines. By implementing a reasoning phase prior to generation, Uni-1 shifts the workflow
